Chapter 9
Stiles POV
I shifted trying to get comfortable and I felt this warm heavy weight in my hips. I opened my eyes; I blinked against the dull orange glow of the sunrise. I looked down to see an arm draped across my waist; I turned my head to see Derek asleep next to me. I stared at him, his face was smooth and worries free, and I resisted the urge to touch his face.
“Morning Stiles,” Derek said.
I startled out of my thoughts to see Derek with a slight smirk his eyes still close.
“How did you know I was up?”
“Your heart beat is faster and I felt you move,” Derek explained opening his eyes slowly.
“Oh, why are you in my bed?” I said irritated.
“Don’t you remember what happened last night?” Derek said seriously.
I thought back, I remembered saving Derek’s life, when I was driving back when something hit me and the jeep and me fell into the river.
“I crashed into the river?” I said uncertainly.
“Yes, do you know what hit you?” Derek asked seriously.
“No, but I did hear something.”
“What?”
“A howl, I heard it seconds before something hit me.”
“A howl?”
I nodded and winced at the pain in my neck, “Ow,” I complained and rubbed my neck.
“Um, I have something to tell you,” Derek said looking guilty.
I narrowed my eyes at him, “What did you do?”
“Well,” Derek cleared his throat and sighed, “You weren’t recovering as fast as we liked, in fact your heartbeat was failing. So I gave you the bite.”
My eyes grew wide as the news absorbed into my brain, “So I am now a…werewolf,” my voice cracked at the last word.
Derek nodded looking at me and I was stunned.
“Stiles, say something,” Derek snapped.
“Okay okay, I can see your point it was a way to save me, but… but…”
“But what?”
I inhaled exhaled, “But nothing, thanks.” I gave him a genuine smile.
Derek nodded and I continued, “Now with that being said…. GET OUT!!!” I shouted and pushed Derek off the bed.
“What did I do?” Derek asked confused.
“You insulted me and my family’s history,” I snapped, dashing into the bathroom slamming the door closed.
I heard a groan, then with my enhanced hearing, heard soft padding towards the bathroom.
“Stiles,” he knocked, “I’m sorry, I am getting how they felt for each other.”
I was confused, “Stiles, I like more than I did before. I am really sorry I insulted you.”
I opened the door and Derek slid in.
“You’re forgiven,” I muttered.
Derek smiled and nodded, I turned and twisted the knobs to make the shower run.
“I’ll leave you alone,” Derek said and I heard the door creak.
“You can join me if you want,” I muttered.
“You sure,” Derek asked.
“Yeah, but don’t get your mind too dirty nothing is going that far.”
I took off my boxers and stepped into the shower and Derek followed soon after. I was under the water feeling the hot water sooth my tense muscles.
Derek grabbed my shoulders and turned me around to face him, his hands cupped my cheeks his thumbs hot against the corner of my lips. I looked up into his eyes and he looked down, I felt this attraction that keeps pulling me closer. His face closes in and I tilted my head out of instinct and our lips met with shocking kiss, it was new and unsure, Derek moved his lips against mine, I let out a little moan and kissed him back participating in the kiss. Derek wrapped his arms around me bring me flushed against his hot skin, his body vibrating and some growls of possessive wolf devours my lips.
My lungs burned for air, so I broke the kiss and rested my head on his shoulder panting. I felt Derek’s nose tracing my neck.
“Mmm,” I said resting against him.
“Full moon is next week,” Derek said.
“Okay,” I mumbled.
Derek turned off the water and looked at me, “Stiles…”
“Derek, Stiles!” Scott’s voice hollered.
Derek growled and wrapping a towel to shield his nudity.
“WHAT!” Derek growled.
The voices were soft, I stepped out of the shower and wrapped my towel around me and walked in the room.
“What’s going on?”
Scott looked at me and them in and at me again
“We didn’t do anything…yet,” I mutter out the last bit.
“Whatever, you two need to stay with me and Allison for a while.”
“Why?” I asked.
“Scott and I think its rouge werewolf that is causing these disturbances; Allison has anti-werewolves weaponry, so we could be better protected.”
“UGH!” I groaned, “I understand the thought, but I want to stay in my house for more than two days. My body is undergoing massive genetic change and I just want to stay put,” I whined and flopped on the bed.
“Why don’t you bring some of the stuff over, that way me and Stiles can stay here. He is right the new moon is next week,” Derek said.
“Good idea,” Scott said.
I heard retreating footsteps and doors closing. I felt the bed dip and Derek moved my arm away from my eyes. I saw he was straddling me, his face close to mine. Our lips met on the middle and we kissed hard, sucking on each other’s lips biting and nibbling.
I moaned and arches wanting more, Derek kissed my lips and rolled off of me. I whimpered at the loss, but Derek snuggles against me.
“let’s take it slow, okay?”
I nodded and smiled softly before sleep took me.
